JAXRPC ws client stub generation problem

[littlejimi]

Hello all,

I'm trying to develop JAXRPC web services with NetBeans 5.0 beta and JBoss 4.0.3-SP1.

I can create, compile and deploy a simple web-service using NetBeans, and the wsdl appears on the server. However, I cannot generated web service clients as the "New Web Service Client" wizard in NetBeans reports that "The current target server for this project does not support JAXRPC so no web service clients can be created". It says this with the client type set to both "J2EE Container-generated static stub" and "IDE-generated static stub".

Is this a known problem and can it be fixed?

Cheers,
Jimi

Hi,

This is known "problem" and there's filed enhancement for this (see http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63326). I'm not sure if this will be implemented in NB 5.0.

For now you can use following workaround:
1) set Sun App Server as a target server for your project
2) add client to your project
3) change project's target server back to JBoss
4) copy JAX-RPC libraries from NetBeans to JBoss
5) add -pre-init target to project's build.xml and set classpath for wscopile there

Hi all, I've got the same problem with jaxrpc, and i solved them, but i still have a problem... if i try to invoke a web service that return a String[] i've got this error when i try to test it with netBeans:

Runtime exception; nested exception is: deserialization error: unexpected XML reader state. expected: END but found: START: item

When deployng WS.. JBoss console print out:

JavaWsdlMapping] Cannot find jaxrpc-mapping for type: {urn:NewWebService/types/arrays/java/lang}StringArray

I think it is a known problem but i cannot resolve it. I dont know what to do with WS/NetBeans/JBoss, i've lost lot of time should I use something else?

You should probably post this as a new thread, since it doesn't really relate to the thread title. You're more likely to get responses if title and content of the post correlate. It also very possibly isn't a problem related to NetBeans.

Anyway, good luck with the problem! Web service development can be a little tricky.

Regards,
Jimi

Hi, I'm curious to know if you were able to solve your problem of returning complex types. I'm facing the same problem.
Please do let me know.

Thanks a lot.

I had the same problem ("expected END: but found START: ...") and solved it by putting all the attributes of the class into alphabetical order. No, really.
